2025 Bud Award Recipient: Project Lemonade The Bud 2025 Bud Award Recipient: Project Lemonade
The Bud Award honors the legacy of Bud Lewis and his spirit of sportsmanship, fair play, and pure love of the game. Each year we recognize a nonprofit that reflects those same values by opening doors for youth to learn, grow, and play.
This year we are proud to recognize Project Lemonade, an organization that champions equity and opportunity for foster youth. Project Lemonade provides high-quality programming that builds confidence, fosters perseverance, and supports personal growth for young people navigating the foster care system.
Their initiatives include the Project Lemonade Store, internships, and support for teens aging out of care. The WISH Program (What Inspires Students’ Hearts) helps youth participate in sports, camps, and enrichment activities that build teamwork, confidence, and inclusion. Through mentorship, enrichment, and wraparound support, Project Lemonade helps youth develop the resilience and self-esteem they need to thrive.
Project Lemonade reflects the spirit of the Bud Award through its commitment to helping foster youth beat the odds and reach their full potential.
Congratulations to our 2025 Bud Award Recipient, Project Lemonade. 💛
2025 Impact Award Recipient: Portland Community Fo 2025 Impact Award Recipient: Portland Community Football Club
The Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s Impact Award honors a nonprofit that embodies community collaboration, youth development, and access to athletics. Each year we celebrate one grant partner whose impact on young people is undeniable, and this year we are proud to recognize Portland Community Football Club (PCFC).
PCFC’s mission is simple and powerful: create access, belonging, and opportunity through high-quality soccer and wraparound support for low-income and historically underserved youth ages 6 to 18.
Founded in 2013, PCFC removes the barriers that keep kids off the field. Free uniforms. No registration fees. Excellent coaching. A place where every child, regardless of financial circumstance, can grow in confidence, skill, and community.
Their Family Service Program goes even further by offering mentorship, nutrition resources, academic support, and care that extends well beyond soccer.
In 2025, PCFC is deepening this commitment by fully eliminating all player fees and expanding partnerships that provide gear, translation, and transportation. It is a model that proves when soccer is truly accessible, everyone wins.
Congratulations to PCFC, a shining example of what it looks like when sport becomes a pathway, not a privilege. 💚⚽

A huge thank you to the MAC members, staff, and leadership team for opening your space and partnering with us to make this event come to life.
Together, we welcomed more than 200 guests to celebrate our grant partners, award recipients, and the power of showing up beyond the funding. Guests explored how their time, talent, and skills — from creative storytelling to legal guidance and event help — can directly support local organizations that create access and opportunity for youth across our region.
We’re grateful to be powered by partnership.
